Heroine Amalia Catalon (who is 28) is chosen to participate in a hot-air-balloon race in Spain. She is unwilling because she is afraid of heights and she thinks the race is foolish, which is between her boss and a fellow businessman, hero Rafael Sandoval (34). Eventually, Amalia is forced into the race and after she has a hesitant and worried start, she finds that she is enjoying herself. Especially the company of handsome, worldly Rafael…

I enjoyed this book so much! It had a fun and original storyline. I’ve never read a book dealing with hot-air balloons before. The author did a good job describing the whole experience. Amalia was a lovely heroine. She looked out for her younger brother who she was close to after their parents died. Rafael was a sexy and likable hero. He was arrogant at times, but charming too. I also enjoyed the sweet and romantic conclusion.

A wonderful read by Barbara McMahon. ( )
